So according to Wikipedia, "Eye of the Gorgon" is episode 3, and we've just seen part one of two. Episode 2 was "Revenge of the Slitheen" and Episode 1 was "Invasion of the Bane".

So what did everyone (who saw it) think of "Eye of the Gorgon"?

I thought it was excellent. Still keeping in mind it's a kids' show, it does a great job keeping a tense atmosphere, some lovely characters this time out, some extra good family strife for Maria, excellent wordplay "This is how we solve a problem like Maria", says the nun.

Some people have been critical, but I think they need to remember that this is a genuine kids program (that because of the obvious connections, will be watched by adults).

I was critical of the Slitheen in the first 2 parter (they make good action figures, & to me thats about it), and I thought the end of this could've been stronger. All the above makes it sound like I'm unhappy - far from it; this is quality kids TV (and I like quality kids TV).

I was out with my boss the other evening and we went back to his house for something to eat before we went. His kids were there and they were watching CBBC. Whenever I see them they'll always talk to me about Doctor Who and show me they're latest toys and stuff. I asked them if they'd been watching SJA and they clearly think it's wonderful. They both got very animated about it - it's definitely a BIG hit with the children in that household.
